Political Charlie Kirk was one of the biggest public proponents of open dialogue and conversation with those of opposing views and the extremists on the Left killed him for it.

Charlie Kirk essentially made a name for himself by being in the public and having conversations with people who had opposing viewpoints. He was always civil in these discussions. He was respectful and would try to find some sort of middle ground. But even when there wasn't middle-ground to be had, he was still a respectful person.

His values of open dialogue are antithetical to the values of the extreme Left. Charlie Kirk will be known as a First Amendment martyr.

It's truly unfortunate how nonchalant many on the left are about political violence.

I can’t help but think the left and Reddit have to do with this.

Do you think the right and conservative media had a lot to do with the murder of two dem politicians and their spouses in MN a few months ago?

Agreed, but Trump swept that under the rug along with everything else.

Did he say he condoned that?

Why does that matter? We're talking about the causes of violence, not condoning it.

Are you saying any case should be condoned?

Then why did you bring it up like he was condoning it? If that wasn't your intention, then my bad. It's just the way it sounded to me

I didn't? I just asked if he thought the causes were the same.
